Based on the info from the reviews:

"For 2020, Yamaha has a new more rigid front caliper with the piston size increased from 22.65mm to 25.4mm. Additionally, the front brake pads are 29.2 percent larger (by making the pads 10.4mm longer and 1mm taller). To allow the new pads to work more effectively, Yamaha redesigned the front rotor to have 16 percent more surface area. Additionally, the 2020 Yamaha YZ450F’s rear disc has been reduced to 240mm. The rear also has a new caliper and hanger bracket.

Does anyone know if these new calipers found on the 2020+ 4 strokes & 2022+ 2 strokes are any lighter than the older ones? Asking for a friend... ;-]
